Limit the amount of food that you eat. Also instead of 3 heavy meals per day you add another 2 meals in between to balance your food intake. Example: Breakfast at 7AM, Lunch at 12NN, and Dinner at 8PM. You add snacks at 10AM and 4PM, eat a small frequent meals. Eat more on High Fiber foods like fruits & vegestables in allowed amounts and less in Carbohydrates ex. foods containing sugar & rice, bread, corn potatoes etc. Limit also your fat intake. See a Dietitian for proper guidelines in food portioning and other concern. My mother is also a diabetic and my wife is a Dietitian so I have this basic knowledge.
